You are not a stupid developer, a bit errant in presentation perhaps, but you should be commended for your efforts no doubt. With that said, what you have stated simply isn't true. From day one of my involvement in the OpenSolaris community as an external contributor, those members of the community that also *happen* to work for Sun were helpful and have always listened. I've found that, in general, if you present your points in a reasonable fashion or have a legitimate concern, you'll get a reasonable response. Any member of the community has an equal voice within the bounds of the governance of this community. What some of the corporate sponsors for the community choose to do with their products and trademarks is their rightful decision and community members should not expect to have control over them. As Belenix and Nexenta (and others) have proven, if time is spent producing great things rather than simply wishing that they occurred, success can be achieved. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
